EMOTIONS in IOWA.

How tho House Can Improve Its Already
Splendid Land Record.
The English evictions in Iowa are in
some respects worse than those in Ire
land. In the latter there is plausible
claim that the tenant has forfeited his
rights by non-payment of rent, though
the rent is so exorbitant under the cir
cumstances as to deprive the claim of
justice. In Iowa the evicted are peaceful
settlers. who took possession of their
holdings and erected dwellings ON
thcm upon the declaration of the In
terror Department that the lands
should be opened to settlement. The
claimants who are doing the eviction
act are assignees of a railroad company
which never earned its grant
The latter ought to have been for
feited long ago, and there is every
reason to believe that the Interior De-
partment regarded II as forfeited. The
Democratic House this winter can inn
prove its land record, which is already
splendid one. by looking into this
matter and protecting the honest set
tiers against the inheritors OF railroad
robbery.

Is doubtful. That body has shown it.

English Farmers as Trade unionists. ~

LONDON, Oct. ga notable instance Of
the strong hold which trades unionism has
upon the working classes of this country
is Afforded in the fact that the Agricultural
LaDprers' Union, which was organized by

moro than ten years ago, has now re-
serve fund ofnearly 100000 This fact was
developed by an application made few
days ago to Justice Charles for leave to
transfer the fund from the control of trus-
tees to that of a bank and his lordship
could not refrain from expressing surprise
that the Organization had been enabled to
accumulate so large fund.

TIE CARE OF BABIES,
How to Dress Thorn During tho Early
Days of Thor Existence.

How to Dress Them During tho Early
Days OF Thor Existence.
The first covering baby needs is a
borough one Of pure table oil. After
tie oiling wrap the little stranger in
otton batting and warm Canton fan
nj, and put it to rest in quiet place.
he only care it needs at first, besides
AK, is to see that its breathing goes
ion all right. After two OF three
hours of rest, it should be washed
in warm soft water and CASTLE soap,
and again oiled. A strip of soft
old linen, two inches wide and six
inches long, should be dipped in the
oil and wound about the umbilical
cord, and small piece of cotton bat
ting laid over it. A soft flannel band
sge should then be pinned around tho
body, tight enough to hold on the APP
plication to the cord fasten this at the
back with small safety-pins. This
dressing and application should be re-
newed daily until the navel is entirely
healed. A soft flannel shirt, one skirt
three-quarters of a yard long, and a
plain slip or night-gown are all the
clothing required for the first month.
Do not load babies with masses of
elaborate clothing. Thick napkins
should never be tightly pinned about
the hips, Bow-legs and spinal
deformities are sometimes caused
by this means. Trusting too much
to inexperienced nurses has Grip
pied many children. The flannel
band is the most important gar
ment for babies, and for children until
FIVE years old, at least. Its width
should beincreased with the growth of
the child, until long enough to reach
halfway to the knees. If mothers
begin early to form proper habits in
their children, the bandage will not be
found to interfere.
A further word about this flannel
band: 1t should be worn during the
entire year by persons, young or old, of
low vitality who live in severe and
changeable climates; and may be made
of three grades of flannel to suit all
seasons. If made properly, gored over
the hips, and carefully pinned, from
the sternum down, it often does away
with the need of flannel petticoat with
its tight band. The knitted bandages
that can now be purchased at some fur
nishing stores have many points that
make them. in some ways, even superior
to those made of flannel. They are of
white or red wool, knitted on machine
in lengthwise ribs, like the leg of a
stocking, and therefore cling more
closely to the body than flannel, and
require no means of fastening. They
come in different sizes, for grown per-
sons and children; many gentlemen
wear them for the protection of the
bowels and kidneys. One could easily
be made at home of wooden yarn, by
knitting a piece wide enough to go
around the body, and of the desired
length, and sewing it together at the
side.-Demoresrs Monthly.
